This looks great Donald, and I'm so glad you accepted the role of Chair. This part of the Special Order will establish the project description text which must appear at the top of every report to the Board:
[...] software related to *a machine learning server built on top of state-of-the-art open source stack, that enables developers to manage and deploy production-ready predictive services for various kinds of machine learning tasks* It is in effect the Apache in-house elevator pitch to other projects and PMC or anyone reading the reports. This is the opportunity to improve this description, if desired. It could also be fine as-is.
